Reviews

Superb bouquet subtly combining maturity and freshness with notes of peaches, fresh pineapple, verbena and mirabelle plums, complemented by rooty or earthy nuances. The notion of balance is also evident in the mouth. The wine has body, grandeur, but also temperament, respectively an incisive character that it owes to its acidic structure. We should also highlight the fine and gentle bitterness that not only gives length, but also freshens the finish. An exceptional Rieussec, harmonious, fine and powerful. When finesse and power share a common space, it inevitably makes for a great wine… here in this case a very great wine! 2028-2068 - Yves Beck - 97-98 points.
Lovely yellow gold colour, bright and shining in the glass. Aromatic nose, ripe mango and nectarine with some elderflower and cool, crisp apple scents. Ripe and sweet but so well balanced and harmonious. I love the interplay between almost sherbet lemon sweetness and zinginess with quite pronounced bitter aspects too - grapefruit rind, vanilla bean, pastry and some toasted spice on the finish. A very modern interpretation which begs for food. Not super typical but this has effortless drinkability. Ends clean and light but long with a kick of freshness that immediately draws you back in. Botrytis arrived mid September, the harvest started on 15th September. Grapes were picked in five separate passes just from the first onset of botrytis with no rain after. 3.9pH. - Georgina Hindle
